Message: <blockquote data-quote="jklingel" data-source="post: 13822" data-attributes="member: 1409"><p>On my old loader, my tire chains worked real well (except that I kept breaking rear ones; see other thread), just like they do on a truck. However, my new 332 tires have gobs of tread, and the tire chain cross links always end up between the lugs, not protruding much and being of limited use. A customer noticed that and said he saw a guy's rig that solved that problem. He had put a third rail down the middle of the tires, and hooked his cross links to it. That kept the cross links up out of the lugs and he claimed it improved traction immensely. Other than getting a worn out set of tires on rims and using them exclusively w/ chains (trust me; I've actually thought of doing this), does anyone have a different solution to this? For clarity, I think his third rail was actually short pieces BETWEEN the cross links and parallel to the other two rails, and not one whole rail going completely around the tire UNDER the cross links. I'd love to hear how anyone else deals w/ this; it's a new one on me.</p></blockquote><p></p>
